The frame A isv provided with a seat o l recess in its rear portion, forthe reception of the foot of the upright.

'lliis recess is atO, and it is bounded by three walls a b c, which arebrought in:l contact with the sides and tace of the upright, embracing,vit, and extending for a suflicient dist-ance along its length, to securea strong braced connection and prevent the joint from workin g loose,
